The co-op didn’t respond and didn’t send any ransom money
A hacker demanded ransom money after obtaining data from a server used by libraries throughout British Columbia, but a system manager who responded to the incident saysthe leak was limitedand the issue was fixed immediately.
Leslie says the co-op didn’t respond and didn’t send any ransom money, though it received several additional emails from the hacker. “This was a case of someone scanning for a known vulnerability, found one and then proceeded to exploit it,” he said in an interview on Friday. “In fact, looking at the evidence that the attacker sent of a public page where they were posting other such attacks, it was clear they were indiscriminate in who they were attacking.”
“Our best estimation is that the main potential use of the stolen data could be to assist with future spear-phishing attacks,” it says.
